From USA Today Best-Selling Author, Sade Rena, comes this heartfelt, second chance, surprise baby romance set in the Happily Ever Alpha World.

Latoya Reynard

Forever is a myth.
A made-up notion used to trick lovesick fools.
Now, I know better.
I fell for it once, and it was great until the boy I loved left me alone and heartbroken.
But, he’s back in our small-town, claiming he’s ready to give me the life he’s always promised.
I want to believe him because, despite everything, I still love him.
There’s just one problem…
He has no idea he’s a father.

Jasper Vanek

They say distance matters none when love is on the line.
Something I wish I knew before I walked out on the best thing that ever happened to me.
It was for the better, at least that’s what I told myself.
I was wrong.
And now after all these years, I have a chance to fix things.
From the moment I lay eyes on her, I realize the mistake I made and know that I have to have her again.
She’s mine, and I’ll do whatever it takes.
Imagine my surprise when I return not only for my woman, but also the seven-year-old son I knew nothing about.

Until Forever is part of Aurora Rose Reynolds's Happily Ever Alpha World. If you loved Until Harmony, then you will want to read Until Forever.

COVER REVEAL: Alcohol You Later by Heather M. Oregon




Title: Alcohol You Later
Author: Heather M. Orgeron
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Cover Design: Y'All. That Graphic.

Model: Kaz
Release Date: March 4, 2022


BLURB

They say to never meet your heroes… but what’s the rule on falling in love with them?

Raven Winters has been infatuated with Nicholas Potter since the day she tacked his poster to her bedroom wall. So, when she discovered the famous drummer was her college roommate’s cousin, it seemed the stars had aligned.

Their attraction was instant, and their chemistry explosive. Unfortunately, Nick wasn’t ready to abandon his rock star lifestyle.

Over the years, she’s become his best friend—with benefits—and favorite source of telephonic relief when the groupies backstage weren’t quite what he was looking for. Those late-night drunken calls kept her holding onto hope.

Well, all that patience is about to pay off—why else would he invite her to join him on tour, if not to finally confess his feelings?

Too bad, the universe has other plans. It looks like drummer boy’s reckless lifestyle has finally caught up to him—and Raven’s the one stuck toting the diaper bag.







EXCERPT

“I guess congratulations are in order, huh?”
“Please don’t do this,” I beg, ripping my hands through my hair. “Don’t act like any of this is okay, because it’s not.”
“What would you have me do instead?” she asks, stilling my hands with her own. “Rage? Scream?” She snorts. “Cry?”
“If that’s what you feel you need to do.”
She shakes her head, rolling her glistening eyes. “Don’t you think that’s a little extreme of a reaction for a friend to have when her bestie learns he’s just become a daddy?”

Genre: Contemporary Romance
Cover Design: Perfect Pear Creative Covers
Release Date: March 8, 2022


BLURB

Griffin

All it takes is four days to change my carefully planned-out life. Four days to fall for Peyton Monroe. Four days to convince her to give me… us a chance.

Before her, baseball was the center of my world. Being the best. Getting a full-ride scholarship. Getting drafted. Going pro. But from the moment my frisbee lands at her feet on the beach, I can’t stop thinking about her.

She’s beautiful, funny, smart… and lives thirteen hours away. Long-distance love is a complication I should avoid, but staying away from Peyton is not an option. This goes beyond the team and my love of the game.

Peyton

I’m looking to get away, not searching for love. But it all but lands at my feet on spring break anyway. A beach full of hot guys, and of course I find myself falling for a handsome baseball player.

Griffin Anthony’s charming smile draws me in. We fall hard and fast, but when it’s time to say goodbye, he tries to convince me that we can make this work long distance.

Now I’m torn between following tradition and playing it safe or throwing out the rule book and following my heart across the miles. He wants me to trust our connection. Can I risk my heart?

RELEASE BOOST: Hard Limit by Brenda Rothert & Kat Mizera

Hard Limit by Brenda Rothert & Kat Mizera is now live!

https://geni.us/HardLimit
Available On All Platforms

St. Louis Mavericks star defender Lars Jansson is dead set against relationships. A new love makes him wonder if maybe he can change, but first, he must confront the truth about who he is.

Lars

On the ice, I’m unstoppable. If anyone is in my way, it’s simple—I move them. Hockey is my life, and I don’t have the patience for relationships spanning more than one night. But when I meet a woman so bold and intriguing I can’t help wanting more, I’m blindsided by the revelation that no matter what I do, I may never be enough for her.


Sheridan

One night. That’s all it was supposed to be. But Lars Jansson is larger than life in every way—how could one night be enough? It’s risky for me to see him again, and to let myself fall for the stoic hockey player who is charming in his own way. He thinks it’s his truth that could undo us, but he couldn’t be more wrong about that—it’s mine.

USA Today Bestselling and award-winning author Kat Mizera is a South Florida native. Born in Miami Beach with a healthy dose of wanderlust, she's called Los Angeles, Long Island, upstate New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Atlanta home. She's never been able to pick which locale is her favorite, but if pressed, she'd probably choose the west coast.

A typical PTA mom with a wonderful and supportive husband (Kevin) and two amazing boys (Nick and Max), Kat can usually be found scrapbooking or indulging in her second love (after writing) - traveling. Greece is one of her favorite places in the world. She loves that Athens is a big city with a small-town feel. The food, beaches and culture keep her going back as often as possible.

Kat's been a working freelance writer for nearly 30 years. She sold her first article--a review of a rock concert--for $10 in 1985. Since then she's been an entertainment journalist, waitress, bartender, legal assistant, food critic, magazine editor, substitute teacher, and sports writer. She also spent some time working at A & M Records in Los Angeles.

As you can guess from her Las Vegas Sidewinders series, Kat loves hockey and occasionally writes articles about her favorite team, the Florida Panthers. The rest of the time, she writes novels: sexy, romantic fiction that she hopes makes you as happy as it makes her. There's something enticing about hockey players and romance...

Desperate times lead to desperate measures…

That’s how I ended up in an auction.
The money from it would be my way out.
My last chance.
Then I saw him, and hope flashed through my mind when he placed a bid.
It shouldn’t have.
Because I didn’t know about the dark edges that surrounded his soul, the ones that should never see the light of day.
Now I’m tied to him for ninety days, but I can survive this.
I’ve been through so much worse before.
Or so I thought.
Because my hope? Was nothing more than a façade.
Now, he was my monster.

EXCERPT

You will get through this. You will get through this.
This was really happening. I was being auctioned off to the highest bidder. The auctioneer didn’t even turn to look at me before he cleared his throat and started speaking. The small amount of compassion that I’d gotten from Rose wasn’t anywhere to be found. It felt as if I’d been thrown to the wolves.
The auctioneer didn’t bother saying my name when introducing me and gave only my body measurements and a brief rundown of my “skills” that no one else should know unless I told them. The feeling of violation coursed through me as I felt like an intangible thing instead of a person. The thought of that had been in the back of my mind for some time, but not even being referred to by my name was more painful than I’d imagined.
I fought with myself as I tried not to sink back into old habits and thoughts that haunted me throughout my childhood. I needed to stay strong or else I would crumble right in front of all of these vultures who would have no problem eating me alive.
And then I saw him.
When our eyes connected, I could have cried. The vulnerability I felt increased tenfold as I tried to keep it together. Although I didn’t know him, just seeing his familiar face made me feel a million different things at once.
Due to the bright lights and where he was sitting I couldn’t tell what color his eyes were, but I felt drawn to him for some reason. I tried to break the stare between us, but I couldn’t. A strong urge in my body made me feel called to him in hopes that he would save me from this hell.

The last time my husband gave me an orgasm was … Well, that's never happened.

And from the way our marriage is crumbling under the weight of his lies, it never will.

Alas, after fighting like hell for a divorce, I promise myself that I'll never waste love on anyone else.

I don't even want to 'date' anyone else.

But that's until I literally run into a man who leaves me breathless at first sight, a man who etches his way into my memory with nothing more than a single smile and a question.

He's an enigma who doesn't want to give me his first name—a man who has more secrets than answers—and from the sexy smirk on his lips, I know that I should stay far away from him.

I try to keep my distance, but he pursues me anyway ...

When he offers me a job I can't refuse, I throw caution to the wind and take a chance.

I should've thought about this a little more.

Little do I know, this man is about to take me on a dangerous ride that might cost me everything.

But you’d be wrong.
I, Nolan Cassidy, international charmer and maker of mischief have fallen head over heels for Cora Delaney.

So you might think the problem would be that she wants an annulment.
But again you’d be wrong—stop getting it so wrong.
I, Nolan Cassidy, with my devil tongue and Irish accent, will no doubt change her mind.

I’m in the business of having.

KAYLEY LORING

Before writing steamy romantic comedy novels, Kayley Loring got a BFA in creative writing from a Canadian university and had a fifteen-year career as a screenwriter in Los Angeles (under a different name). She mostly wrote PG-13 family comedies that studios would pay her lots of money for and then never make into movies. In 2017 she decided to move to the Pacific Northwest and write about all the fun stuff that she wasn't allowed to write about in those PG-13 scripts. Now she’s breathing cleaner air and writing dirtier words. It’s an adjustment she’s happily getting used to.




CONNOR CRAIS

Connor Crais is a classically trained actor living in the Midwest with his wife, two kids, and rescue greyhound. He has been both a stage and television actor, and before plunging into the romance genre, he had been narrating commercials, audiobooks, and explainers for well over a decade from his home studio. From alphas to bosses to cocky sports stars (a particular favorite), he loves sparring with beautiful, sassy heroines (and their talented narrators) but also loves winning them over and reaching that happily ever after. He is excited to now create those stories as an author.
